You Came Back: A Novel by Christopher Coake
4.0
As a parent, it was difficult to read this--about a man struggling to deal with the death of his 6-year-old son and the resulting death of his marriage.... Though the story was told from the father's point of view, there were a number of other people's perspectives that were made pretty clear, too. It was challenging, finding one person to identify with--I could see many sides of the story and relate to several of the characters.
I know some people have a difficult time reading books (or watching movies) about things like this, so whether or not I'd recommend it would depend on the individual. (I won't let my husband read it, that's for sure!) I found the writing to be wonderful, despite the fact that this was an advanced copy and there were a few errors in it... To say I "enjoyed" it would be wrong. However, I did feel like it was, indeed, a "good read". I'll look for more work by this author.
